1) Is Bella the only one affected by the Cullens leaving? How has "nothing changed" in their absence?

No,the other people are the Wherewolves and Charlie.Nothing has changed because nobody else really noticed or cared about them.

2) Why is the dream different than before? Did Bella's renewed contact with Jacob's family change her perception of Sam Uley? How so and why?

Because Sam probably didn't look very friendly at first glance.It probably did,because after she got to know Sam,she can see how calm and loving he is.

3) Why would Bella not want to be invisible now, when she wanted to be invisible last year?

She wanted to be normal and protect Charlie.

4) How is Charlie affected by this new Bella? Does he perceive how much of it is Jacob's doing?

Charlie is happier because he see's Bella is happier.He knows something Jacob is doing is helping Bella.

5) This is the second mention of the monstrous black bear. Did you realize at this point that there was more to it than that? What did you think was going on? Did you think it would turn into what it did?

1) Is Bella the only one affected by the Cullens leaving? How has "nothing changed" in their absence? the kids at Bella's school are still gossiping like they did when the Cullens where there. This tells you that the kids don't try to get to know anyone on a deep level. Since Bella does, she is the only one affected by their absence.

2) Why is the dream different than before? Did Bella's renewed contact with Jacob's family change her perception of Sam Uley? How so and why?

I thought the dream was a warning to her that Sam is something dangerous and he isn't as helpful as he appears to be. Maybe she is nervous abou what people think about her new friendship with Jacob and thats part of why her dream has changed. Jacob is this happy kid and Bella was so zombie like for so long..... I hope that makes sense.

3) Why would Bella not want to be invisible now, when she wanted to be invisible last year?

Despite having Jacob as a friends, she truely is alone now. Last year she wasn't alone and she had Edward waiting for her after class all the time. Also she is hurting a lot right now, and I think on some level she wants someone to reckonize that and comfort her. Or she just wants to know that someone cares and isn't being fake. Its like how in Twilight she told Edward about how she moved to Forks to be miserable and make her mom happy. He told her "You put on a good show but I'm willing to bet that you are hurting more than you let on." Bella never talked about that issue more afther that, but she became more happier since she knew that Edward cared about her when she is sad so she needed need to be visible last year. This year she does.

4) How is Charlie affected by this new Bella? Does he perceive how much of it is Jacob's doing?

I think he's happy that she is more life like but he wants to know exactly what caused this. He knoews Bella is probably happy because she is hanging out with Jacob but he doesn't realize that its more what they are doing that is making her happy. I think Charlie is nervous too. Edward is gone and he knows about Billy's suspicions on the Cullens. He also knows how much Bella hates those suspicions so he doesn't understand why Jacob would be the one the made her change so fast...

5) This is the second mention of the monstrous black bear. Did you realize at this point that there was more to it than that? What did you think was going on? Did you think it would turn into what it did?

I always thought it would be a storyline. If it wasn't, than Stephanie wouldn't have mention it in the first place. I think there is a secret werewolf pact,.....

1) Is Bella the only one affected by the Cullens leaving? How has "nothing changed" in their absence?Even though the Cullens never meant so much to anybody else as they did to Bella, she is by no means the only one affected by their leaving. The way she reacts, and keeps reacting throughout it all, affects Billy, her school friends, her teachers, Jake, her boss... I mean, the list could go on forever.

2) Why is the dream different than before? Did Bella's renewed contact with Jacob's family change her perception of Sam Uley? How so and why?I thought the dream meant to watch out for Sam. He appears to be a helpful guy, but he was willing to stand on the sidelines while she wandered? That says something about him. Well, yeah... I'm sure it did. She probably didn't like him much after Jacob's being so scared of him and all that.

3) Why would Bella not want to be invisible now, when she wanted to be invisible last year?I think I actually understand this. It's hard being in a new school, and at first, all you want is all the attention directed away from you. You feel like a loner, and a bit of a freak. But Bella wasn't new anymore. She'd been there a year, and she is still invisible... almost not even there at all. She had Edward, she lost him. She had his family, she lost them. She had friends, she lost them. She wants to be comforted, she wants to know that someone cares, she isn't alone. I also think she finally saw the impact that her invisibility had on her life, her friendships... maybe she wanted to fix it.

4) How is Charlie affected by this new Bella? Does he perceive how much of it is Jacob's doing?I think Charlie is elated. A little freaked out, and still keeping a close watch, but so relieved. He can go out and fish again! Regained confidence in his daughter must be wonderful. And I think he knows that it's Jake. Because when she's not with him for a day or so, she kind of recedes back into Sad Bella.

5) This is the second mention of the monstrous black bear. Did you realize at this point that there was more to it than that? What did you think was going on? Did you think it would turn into what it did?Well, in the back of my mind, the word Werewolf was bouncing around, but that was only because of what people who had already read the book were saying. I really didn't think that wolves were the case just yet. I just thought maybe she'd be attacked by one or something and someone (Jake, not Edward) would have to save her.

1) Is Bella the only one affected by the Cullens leaving? How has "nothing changed" in their absence?

Oh I bet the hospital missed Carlisle, but everyone else was pretty much avoided, so people just acted like they were never there.

2) Why is the dream different than before? Did Bella's renewed contact with Jacob's family change her perception of Sam Uley? How so and why?

not sure, and I'm sure she liked him less because Jacob was scared to death of him.

3) Why would Bella not want to be invisible now, when she wanted to be invisible last year?

I think she just didn't want to hurt anymore so she wanted some friends

4) How is Charlie affected by this new Bella? Does he perceive how much of it is Jacob's doing?

I think he knows that Jacob is cheering her up a bit, but I also think he's still weary because she is still pretty evidently hurt.

5) This is the second mention of the monstrous black bear. Did you realize at this point that there was more to it than that? What did you think was going on? Did you think it would turn into what it did?

1) Is Bella the only one affected by the Cullens leaving? How has "nothing changed" in their absence?No, Jake and the Quiluetes have been affected too.

2) Why is the dream different than before? Did Bella's renewed contact with Jacob's family change her perception of Sam Uley? How so and why?Because of her new contact with Jake and the rest of the reservation.

3) Why would Bella not want to be invisible now, when she wanted to be invisible last year?Because she feels like she might disappear like Edward.

4) How is Charlie affected by this new Bella? Does he perceive how much of it is Jacob's doing?Charlie's trying to figure out if she's going back to the zombie girl or not. No, I don't think he does realize how much Jake has to do with it.

5) This is the second mention of the monstrous black bear. Did you realize at this point that there was more to it than that? What did you think was going on? Did you think it would turn into what it did?No, I didn't realize anything was up at this point. I just thought it was a black bear roaming around Forks.

1) Is Bella the only one affected by the Cullens leaving? How has "nothing changed" in their absence?I think everyone is affected by the Cullens just Bella is the one suffering because of it. Her friends aren't effected too much yet, on the other hand, it changes Jacob and his tribe into werewolves.

2) Why is the dream different than before? Did Bella's renewed contact with Jacob's family change her perception of Sam Uley? How so and why?The dream is different because she has Jacob in her life. He's the one that is keeping her from drowning in misery after Edward and, might I say, this is the start of how Jacob becomes apart of Bella. Sam Uley really wasn't "in" the book just yet. In later chapters, her look at Sam comes from Jacob and, when she finds out that Jacob is a werewolf, her look at Sam changes because of Jacob.

3) Why would Bella not want to be invisible now, when she wanted to be invisible last year?I had thoughts that she wanted the attention from her friends (now that Edward left) and it would make her forget the emptiness she felt. Last year, however, the attention she was getting really wasn't necessary to have.

4) How is Charlie affected by this new Bella? Does he perceive how much of it is Jacob's doing?He seemed more comfortable with the new Bella (because it's not Edward but Jacob) and more laid back because he doesn't want her to go back into her dark months. Charlie really thinks everything is because of Jacob and how good he treats her. Plus, it's his best friend's son and one he knows really well. (Not beautiful Edward)

5) This is the second mention of the monstrous black bear. Did you realize at this point that there was more to it than that? What did you think was going on? Did you think it would turn into what it did?There was more going on, I knew that. I honestly was thinking that a pack of vampires had come into the area and weren't quite so quiet about their thirst for human blood, like the Cullens were. And come to find out, I was pretty close to the answer! XD

<3 I've been Vamped by Edward Cullen ~ Followed by Emmett and Jasper <3

1) Is Bella the only one affected by the Cullens leaving? How has "nothing changed" in their absence? The wolves have been effected to, and I'm sure the hospital missed Carlisle. But the people never cared they left.

2) Why is the dream different than before? Did Bella's renewed contact with Jacob's family change her perception of Sam Uley? How so and why? I don't remember the dream...so my bff Jill

3) Why would Bella not want to be invisible now, when she wanted to be invisible last year? Because she's aching and wants someone to notice that and not just brush it off. She wants a true friend.

4) How is Charlie affected by this new Bella? Does he perceive how much of it is Jacob's doing? He's happier and he thinks its all Jacob (which it pretty much is).

5) This is the second mention of the monstrous black bear. Did you realize at this point that there was more to it than that? What did you think was going on? Did you think it would turn into what it did? I began to think that the tribe with Sam had something to do with it, but I had no solid theory.

1) Is Bella the only one affected by the Cullens leaving? How has "nothing changed" in their absence?She was the only person who ever got close to them. Besides Carlisle, none of the other Cullen's had any friends or people that wee otherwise impacted by them.

2) Why is the dream different than before? Did Bella's renewed contact with Jacob's family change her perception of Sam Uley? How so and why?It's different because lately things have been getting better because she has someone to go to. Jacob.

3) Why would Bella not want to be invisible now, when she wanted to be invisible last year?She wants any distractions that she can get. I don't necessarily think that she's trying to attract the attention of them, but somehow hoping that Edward will realize something and come back.

4) How is Charlie affected by this new Bella? Does he perceive how much of it is Jacob's doing?He's happy that she is finally starting to turn herself around and become somewhat normal again. He thinks its all because of Jacob and I think he is very grateful.

5) This is the second mention of the monstrous black bear. Did you realize at this point that there was more to it than that? What did you think was going on? Did you think it would turn into what it did?I thought something was happening with more nomadic vampires or something.

1) Is Bella the only one affected by the Cullens leaving? How has "nothing changed" in their absence?

Well Bella is the most affected but I think that people at the hospital must miss Carlisle, they just don't mention it in the book. Otherwise I don't think that anything has changed. I mean at school the Cullens where barely noticed anymore so I don't think that their absence made adifference in school.

2) Why is the dream different than before? Did Bella's renewed contact with Jacob's family change her perception of Sam Uley? How so and why?

I don't think so. Bella didn't meet Sam personally so she doesn't really know him she just has a weir feeling about him that she can't quite explain. But yeah I think that the friendship with Jacob has brought Sam back to Bella's subcounscious that's why he is in her dreams. But they aren't any better she still wakes up screaming.

3) Why would Bella not want to be invisible now, when she wanted to be invisible last year?

She didn't say that she wanted to be visable now she was just noting the difference from last year when she was the new student and everyone noticed her, to now that it's been a year and she is unnoticed and forgotten. She thought or wanted her first day at school to be that way. But is now realising that in a way she missed her "Friends" some more than others.

4) How is Charlie affected by this new Bella? Does he perceive how much of it is Jacob's doing?

He doesn't now what to think exactly he knows that she is not out of the woods as they say but there is a bit of an improment and his glad of it. He knows that Jacob has allot to do with Bellas New mood and he is hopefull that Jacob will help her get over Edward.

5) This is the second mention of the monstrous black bear. Did you realize at this point that there was more to it than that? What did you think was going on? Did you think it would turn into what it did?

Well I did think that there was something goign on and I kind of had a vague idea of what it could be. I figured that it had something to do with the wolfs Jacob mentioned but I wasn't sure. I didn't quite expect what was going to happen.

1) Is Bella the only one affected by the Cullens leaving? How has "nothing changed" in their absence?

The Cullens were always in the shadows, so there wasn't much for anyone besides Bella to miss. She was the one who had the most contact with them, so she was the only affected by their leaving. But to everyone else, nothing had changed except that the student body at Forks Highschool was a little less.

2) Why is the dream different than before? Did Bella's renewed contact with Jacob's family change her perception of Sam Uley? How so and why?

I think that it just reminded her that Sam was there that night. She had been so concerned with Edward leaving her that the small detail of Sam being the one to find her had slipped her mind.

3) Why would Bella not want to be invisible now, when she wanted to be invisible last year?

She still doesn't want to be completely visible. She is just reminded that this is like the first day of school and she had to make amends with her friends.

4) How is Charlie affected by this new Bella? Does he perceive how much of it is Jacob's doing?

Charlie is beyond happy that Bella seems to be recovering from Edward's absence. He probably has his suspitions that Jake is a part of it, but never voices them to Bella.

5) This is the second mention of the monstrous black bear. Did you realize at this point that there was more to it than that? What did you think was going on? Did you think it would turn into what it did?

I never expected werewolves to come into the story. At the time, I was still thinking it was somhow Laurent.
